The guy at https://www.youneedabudget.com explained this stuff very well to me. But this was years ago, when his program was a bunch of emails. You may have to just check out the free trial and see if it is helpful to you.

There are different learning styles. Universities could stay relevant by offering environment for specific styles or a combination thereof, that no other place does. In other words, for some people a given university would be the best way t

Anybody care to enlighten me what this does other than being a simple outliner? I tried to find out, but, why not just use an outliner? What am I missing?

I have to agree with zichy. I started to scroll while reading, this led to the situation that the white type on whyit lens flare made it impossible to read further. I stopped right there. I closed the tab and thought "well, for an old

If internet access is a human right, which I believe the UN said it is? Well, then we could have special laws for internet archival? Much like we have laws that prevent the destruction of historical sites. It's not that anybody is maki

It's not confusing, it's quite logical. You either use the OSS software on your own server and can do with it whatever you want. Of course you will have to pay for the server. Or you get to run an instance of the software running

It is indeed absurd. If you watch his interview on YouTube, how this guy acts and talks, it is very hard to imagine him picking fights. I can't see anybody who is sincere doing this.

I have to disagree. My point was that the difference in accountability that a publicly traded company provides vs a governmental organisation is to big enough to support the parent's point. I suggest the reason is because the state is

by Torwald 9y ago
Yes, thank you, I understand that. My point is that a publicly traded company is not necessarily able to provide accountability in the sense of the parent comments, more so than a governmental organisation. It is not 'private' eno

You are making assertions that may or may not be true. That aside, the point that I am trying to argue during the whole thread is two-fold. First I do agree with matt4077 that the difference in accountability between the CEO and the mayor i

Could this be mitigated by having a system with more than two parties?

I agree with the video: it feels amazing. That's what it is about. I can only speak as an ex-Emacs user, never used VIM, but I guess with vi-style editors the feeling is even more intense. I think this is a real valueable thing, this f
